magicpockets Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I think docking points would be a mistake, like James says if you do it at the start you risk skewing the field as there are a lot of strong players who have declared who would end up facing each other sooner than maybe necessary. If you do it at the end you may as well not do it at all as it won't have an effect on the ranking but may have an effect on final placement of players who have declared. If it was me I'd just keep it "as is" and let the draw stand irrespective of Masters - not knowing doesn't change much other than a little pre-round one planning which is neither here nor there. Naturally it's your call and you should do what you think is right, and I'm only chipping in as a supportive ex-attendee If it helps, Dai played LCB at the Northampton tourny.

Drake Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I wouldnt mind Magic's suggestion, it is inline with my first thoughts on giving them one last reminder before penalty is applied. End of the day the tournament is about playing and having fun, final place is a bonus really, although i'm sure we would all like the prestige of winning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumb Luck Posted June 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 (edited) Changing the draw means some of you don't get to play new people. If any of you guys know the guys who haven't submitted, give them a light poke in the ribs! I've managed to email two of the guys. If I don't have any Masters for them by the day, I'll be docking a point. Sounds fair to me. It might effect results but everyone else managed to get masters in on time. UPDATE!: I've got two of the Masters confirmed. An email has been sent to Dai Garland, with a message forwarded onto Mike. But he's playing Liam Coupland, so he can be left in the dark about his first foe. =) And by the loooks of it, I'll be giving Bets Outcast to myself. Jus' cause.

Oh well it will make a change from your Gremlins at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drake Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Dumb Luck, what is the latest now for this? We have had some extra additions to the line up from what I hear?... 18 of us is that in total?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumb Luck Posted June 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 I've had a few late sign ups, so 18 sounds bout right. I will get a list from the shop today. Also, Dai Garland has had to switch crews as he left his Dreamer stuff somewhere. I reckon he's just trying to get the easy Best Faction prize.

Bucket Monkey Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 (edited) Ill second that having played Dumb Luck's Gremlins far too many times to remember they can be very nasty in their hoards, dumb luck is nasty, calculated look more so, if you can't take ophelia in cc or range just avoid at all costs, concentrate on getting your objectives and denying theirs.

Iron Skies Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Just need reminding here. What hiring restrictions does Ophelia have? IE Special forces Kin.

ukrocky Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Ophelia can bring anything Gremlin-esque and only gremlins.
